Harvard astrophysicist Avi Loeb has suggested that the interstellar object 3I/ATLAS could be composed of antimatter, a form of material that annihilates ordinary matter and releases nearly total energy on contact.
Loeb describes antimatter as
"the most efficient fuel" in the universeand argues that its interaction with solar particles could account for the object's unusual brightness and apparent acceleration.
According to Loeb, if 3I/ATLAS truly contained antimatter, its passage through the solar wind might generate detectable gamma-ray or X-ray emissions, which could be observed by NASA's Fermi Gamma-Ray Space Telescope.
